WEDNESDAY from BillA - The Cult of Set (55 points)

I've been sitting on these figures for a while, and decided to take them out of the lead pile and finish them up.  I've been a fan of the 1982 CONAN THE BARBARIAN movie for years - it's Arnold's best, bar none, and James Earl Jones excels as the villainous Thulsa Doom.  So when I saw that Dark Fable Miniatures had a Kickstarter of the Cult of Set, I knew I had to back it.  Having backed a prior Dark Fable Kickstarter, I was able to score a bonus "Prophet of Set" figure in Jones' likeness.

"What is steel compared to the hand that wields it?"

The cultists, Doom and Priest of Set are from the Kickstarter, and the two axe-wielding guardsmen I purchased separately from Dark Fable to round out a potential warband for Frostgrave or Broken Legions.  Finally, the Medusa and Giant Snake are from Reaper; the Giant Snake I'm particularly proud of, I feel like I really captured the coloration of the giant snake from the film.





All in all that's 11 28mm figures for 55 points.

ByronM: I always loved that movie, it doesn't hold up awfully well, but I still love it.  These figs really capture the essence of the characters from the movie, and you paint job works well on them, especially the darker skin tones, you can instantly tell who he is. The pattern on the snake is also nice.  Maybe its just the lighting, but I think the white cloaks could use a bit of grey in the folds for definition.  Maybe it is there already though and the photos don't show it. Also was there no Conan with the set?  It was just the cult?  Or was he part of the earlier set you got?
